Camas Mio Sushi — Restaurant in Vancouver

Driving to the restaurant, I found myself in suburban Hell. This development area of Camas is truly a reflection of what is the worst in America. I had to laugh as I pulled in to the strip mall: nail salon, massage parlor, and even a driving school all next to Mio Sushi. God help me! But I wanted some fish.

The ladies who were seating and serving, but one, were Korean, as was the Sushi chef. There was one amazing woman holding it all down who was Japanese. Why does that matter? Because this AmeriCAN values authenticity, integrity and a service or product that offers value. And then to my humbled surprise, this place exceeded my expectations.

While the vibe is not a place to be seen and show off your doo and shoes, the food was great and the service impeccable. If your date is disappointed in your choice to bring her here, let it be a last date.

I ordered miso soup and the Himachi appetizer which was perfect in its freshness and simplicity- the fish was the star. The toro, salmon belly, was melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious, the ikura nigiri was a bountiful portion with the round roe popping in my mouth giving me undeniable oral pleasure, and the uni, sea urchin, which is this location's specialty was rich and quite yummy.

As I finish writing this, I realize the atmosphere reminds me of a Korean restaurant in San Francisco I first went to in 1986 that became a lifetime favorite. The atmosphere wasn't much but the service and food kept me going back through my teens into my twenties, thirties, forties and fifties.

I plan to return here while I'm in town, and I hope they make it through whatever challenges the government tosses them, as it seems to be the chief obstacle for so many. If the owners and employees came here for the American Dream, this 13th Generation American says, "Welcome!". You deserve to have it. And may you prosper as you continue to provide great service and value. Well done! ...

I thought it was a fairly decent sushi place. It's more on the upper scale as far as ingredients and unique rolls go. Their hot tea was fairly mediocre, though. I don't know if anyone else likes hot tea with fair sushi as much as I do, but I much prefer a stronger flavor. But, they do have bluefin tuna on the menu, and real crab in some of their high-end rolls, which is rare and very welcomed. I also appreciated that there wasabi was real, and very potent! I am a wasabi lover and too often you find stale Play-Doh-like paste at sushi places. There's was fresh and some of the strongest I have encountered in Washington. My only complaints are it is very small and the seats are uncomfortable as is fairly common and a Japanese style restaurant once the dinner rush came in, it was very close quarters and you have almost no space or privacy. I like that they have reusable menus, however. They are laminated and they give you a dry erase marker to indicate which roles you want. I appreciate the effort to cut down on...

lived in Japan for six years as active duty military, I usually give all Japanese food restaurants a lot of "benefit of the doubt" when it comes to taste, that being said the service on my visit was decent, the presentation of the sushi itself was great but the quality and quantity of the sushi vs the price was abysmal and unacceptable (how are you going to charge full price for an imitation crab roll and place less than a penny size of food within it?) and I'm taking all extenuating circumstances into the equation (covid's massive hit on the service and food industry) I had 3 rolls and gave up, asking for a Ramen which tasted really good. My advice until things get better would be to order Kyu ramen (tonkatsu broth based) and skip the sushi altogether or order one roll and see if things got better. I feel bad leaving a review like this and will come to revisit in 6 months to see if things...
